Motivation

Before I started this project, there were 3 current main things that i wanted to learn more about:

1. C
2. the shell and
3. terminal emulators.

If im speaking honestly, this is just one step in my linux journey where i just want to learn and move to the next interesting thing i see, mostly abandoning my previous projects. emoji

A quick Google search and I found this tutorial by Stephen Brennan which was pretty easy to understand. After completing it, I decided to add as much functionality to it as i could and just try and learn as much as possible C and how the shell works. I can skip the terminal emulator for now and after i abandon this, i’ll work on that. emoji
